  • blow molds are arranged interchangeable in blow mold carriers or mother molds. In the case of wear of these blow molds, but also if a change to other types of containers to be made, while the said blow molds are removed from the blow mold carriers and replaced by other blow molds.
  • This replacement of the blow molds is a relatively complicated procedure in the prior art. Thus, first a plurality of fastening screws are released and then pivoted jaws or locking bracket to release the blow mold. Also, the replacement of a blow mold is relatively expensive. Partially obstruct the locking bracket during installation the previously to be carried out insertion of the blow molds in the mold carrier or the mother mold and / or the mold shell.
  • blow mold holder in addition to the terms mother mold, blow mold or blow mold, the term blow mold holder is used, which may denote both a mother mold, a blow mold and a blow mold.
  • blow mold holder therefore in this context designates an element which at least partially accommodates a further element, ie the blow mold holder is in particular a further element receiving element.
  • blow molding unit which may designate both the blow mold and the mother mold, as well as the Blasformschale, each forming a cavity which serves to expand the plastic preform.
  • the cavity serves to receive a blow mold and thus indirectly to expand the plastic preform.
  • the blow molding unit is, in particular, a received element, more precisely a member arranged radially inside the blow mold holder and received by this blow mold holder.
  • the DE 10 2005 035 233 A1 describes a device for holding blow mold segments.
  • a locking element is provided, which is designed both for providing a positive retention and for providing a non-positive retention of the Blasformsegmentes. More specifically, here a lever is provided, by means of which a locking element can be moved to release the locking of a blow mold.
  • this device may also be a hindrance when inserting blow mold segments.
  • the US 6,615,472 B2 describes a quick change blow mold. This arrangement also has a carrier plate and a blow mold half, which can be fastened to the carrier plate.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to simplify the assembly and disassembly of such blow molding units relative to the Blasformhaltern. This is inventively achieved by a blow mold according to claim 1 or claim 16. Advantageous embodiments and further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

  • the actuating element preferably also serves to produce a locking between the mold holder element and the blow molding unit.
  • the blow molding unit is a blow mold that directly forms the cavity for expansion of the preform.
  • the blow mold holder is a blow mold shell which receives the blow mold directly.
  • the movement of the engagement element and particularly preferably of the actuating element to a pivoting or rotational movement about the predetermined axis, wherein particularly preferably only such a pivoting or rotational movement and no additional displacement movement is provided.

  • the engagement elements do not hinder the replacement of, for example, another blow mold.
  • the engagement element is pivotable in a plane which is parallel to a parting plane, which separates the two blow mold halves and the mold holder halves from each other.
  • the engagement element is pivotable about an axis which runs parallel to a longitudinal direction of the containers to be formed.

This means that the blow molding unit is stabilized or locked along its longitudinal direction at at least two positions relative to the blow mold holder.
  • the locking mechanism has at least two engagement elements, and the blow molding unit is at least partially disposed between these engagement elements. This means that the blow molding unit is locked on both sides with respect to the cavity or with respect to the container to be expanded relative to the blow mold each of rotatable engagement elements.

This rounded outer surface allows (in particular limited) rotational movement of the engagement member relative to the Blasformhalter.
  • the blow molding arrangement has a spring device in order to bias the engagement element relative to the carrier or the blow mold carrier. It is possible, for example, that this spring element is arranged below the said carrier, and the engagement element engages the carrier. In particular, the above-mentioned spherical bodies are clamped by said spring element.
  • the blow molding arrangement has a securing mechanism which prevents closing of the blow molding unit when the blow molding unit is not correctly locked. So it would be possible, for example, that after installing a blow mold is forgotten to lock individual security elements again.
  • the securing mechanism prevents the blow molding unit from being completely closed, so that the user can notice the misorientation of a securing element and he can rectify this.

Fig. 23d ) are coupled together so that upon pivoting of an actuating element 14, all four engagement elements 12 are simultaneously rotated about their respective axis of rotation X and thus the blow mold 2 can be locked or released.
  • the connecting element 348 is movable along the longitudinal axis and has recesses 346, in which bolts 349 engage.
  • Fig. 24a a further embodiment of the blow mold assembly 1 according to the invention is shown in which the blow mold 2 without the use of an additional tool is interchangeable and in which the blow mold 2 is locked relative to the blow mold 4 by means of a negative pressure.
  • the blow mold assembly 1 is provided with sealing elements 359 on the connecting surface between the blow mold 2 and the blow mold 4 and with a vacuum cylinder 360.
  • the vacuum cylinder 360 is provided with an actuator 14, whereby this can be withdrawn and a negative pressure can be established.
  • the actuator 14 is provided with a locking mechanism 10, whereby it can be locked and fixed to the mold carrier 9.
  • the sealing elements 359 can be made elastic, approximately in the nature of rubber rings.
  • the vacuum cylinder 360 may be sealed by means of sealing centers against a channel in which it is movable.
  • a Zentriertoskar (not shown) to attach the blow mold 2 or a blow mold 2a, 2b during the locking or during the production of the negative pressure and the associated suction of the blow mold outer surface to the Blasformschale 4 or to automatically align with the seal members 359 in an intended working end position toward the blow mold holder.
  • a conical elevation and a corresponding conical recess which is arranged, for example, either on the outside of the blow mold 2 or on the inside of the blow mold holder 4, for example in the sealing area between the sealing elements 359, may be provided.
  • centering aid described here can also be used in conjunction with the other embodiments shown.
  • Fig. 24b shows a further embodiment of the blow mold according to the invention 1.
  • the provision of the negative pressure takes place here by a Venturi valve 361, which is traversed by compressed air, so that a negative pressure is generated.
  • the overpressure for the Venturi valve 361 is provided, for example, by means of an available overpressure of a production plant 364.
  • Fig. 24c shows a further embodiment of the blow mold assembly 1 according to the invention, in which the negative pressure is provided by means of a mechanical coupling of the vacuum cylinder 360 with another pressure cylinder 362.
  • a deflection is generated by the pressurization of the pressure cylinder 362, whereby the vacuum cylinder 360 is also deflected, thus generating negative pressure between the blow mold 2 and the blow mold 4, whereby the blow mold 2 is locked to the blow mold 4.
  • a sensor 363 the path deflection of the two cylinders can be detected and a warning signal can be output at a maximum path deflection achieved.
  • a check valve (not shown) or a pressure-controlled valve (not shown), for example, depending on the present over or under pressure is activated, be arranged in the blow mold, so that the existing vacuum or the vacuum can be enclosed and thereby kept constant.
  • the blow molding arrangement also has a sensor device for determining a pressure between the blow molding unit and the blow mold holder. Using the results of such a pressure measurement, a corresponding negative pressure could be controlled, but also in case of need, such as when the pressure is rising too high, the machine on which the blow mold is located may be stopped.
  • vacuum sources such as vacuum pumps.
  • a vacuum pump could simultaneously actuate several blow molding arrangements.
